Prince autopsy report released

An autopsy report reveals that Prince died due to an accidental, self-administered overdose of the powerful painkiller fentanyl. Though Prince was famed for his clean living (he was vegan and did not drink alcohol), he seems to have developed a dependency on painkillers — possibly initially prescribed to help him manage pain from years of taxing stage performances. Among the open questions surrounding his death is whether the fentanyl was prescribed to him by a doctor. (Local Current)
